This pathogen's PB1 gene encodes both a polymerase and an apoptosis-inducing protein. One type of it does not possess M2 ion channels and thus cannot be treated by amantadine, and it can kill healthy, typically disease-resistant populations by causing cytokine storm. Its binding to sialic acid residues on the surface of epithelial cells is inhibited by treatments for it like (*) oseltamivir. This pathogen is classified according to which of sixteen hemagglutinin and nine neuraminidase glycoproteins are expressed on its surface, such as the possibly pandemic H5N1. For 10 points, name this disease with strains commonly called its "swine" and "avian" types.
